Conversions to Catholicism among Fin de Siècle Writers: A Spiritual and Literary Genealogy by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…The Tractarian theologian’s religion may at first sight have little in common with the aesthetic religion of the fin de siècle poets, and yet his view of the act of faith as founded on the senses, the emotions and the imagination was certainly an element that they were keen to appropriate, and his focus on the human conscience as the centre of religious experience is implicitly present in the solitary and highly subjective piety that emerges in the works of Gray, Johnson and Dowson.…”

‘Savages’ and Spiritual Engines: Feeling the Machine in H. G. Wells’s Time Machine and ‘Lord of the Dynamos’ by Tamara Ketabgian

“…Seeking, above all, to feel the machine, these two works portray communities of intense spiritual affect, supported through sound, sight, and touch. Yet, while The Time Machine offers us fantastical devices that we must take on faith, ‘The Lord’ reads theistic humanism unsparingly against itself, through acoustic bonds that join people and things within an industrial power station. …”

A Role for Folate in Microbiome-Linked Control of Autoimmunity by Christine Mölzer, Heather M. Wilson, Lucia Kuffova, John V. Forrester

“…Here, we review the role of folate in AD/AID with some emphasis on sight-threatening autoimmune uveitis. Since folate is required for the generation and maintenance of Treg, we propose that one mechanism for microbiome-based control of AD/AID is via folate-dependent induction of GI tract Treg, particularly colonic Treg, via anergic T cells (Tan). …”

Multi-RIS-Assisted 3D Localization and Synchronization via Deep Learning by Alireza Fadakar, Maryam Sabbaghian, Henk Wymeersch

“…Firstly, the received signals are preprocessed, and an efficient deep learning architecture is proposed to initially estimate the angles of departure (AODs) of the virtual line of sight paths from the RISs to the user. Then, a hybrid asynchronous AOD time-of-arrival-based approach is proposed in the first stage to estimate an initial guess of the position of the user equipment (UE). …”
